I guess with works Dolomites in same class here it just wasn't worth trying to compete with them. Escorts seen to have had the class very much to themselves in rest of Europe, and as a German produced Ford perhaps a bit of backing from them.
Final carb setup was the twin 44idf homologation, but if better exhaust manifold was allowed maybe the engine could get above 175bhp. I have heard of a 'special' Gp1 cast manifold that is different internally to the homologated one, but not seen any evidence with my own eyes!
My car will be presented in the HWRT Jagermeister livery, just to make sure it stands out! Will be interesting to see how competitive it can be using correct parts against Dolomites.
